Andrew!!! Your words made me cry. What wondrous tenderness of the realities of being a parent...loving the little ones as they grow and step our on their own! I was not a Mom but I do know the profound importance of both Moms and Dads to children, both the genders participating. They need the example of how people grow up and how to take trouble and frustration and dismay and defeat, bit by little bit. They need stability and a calm in the storm. Heck, I'm 71 and still learning about this... Keep going, Andrew, you are doing a great job. WEW
This is beautiful. Each stanza had me reflecting on the stage of growth my own son will go through, and how my role is going to change to complement it. There's much in this life to look forward to, even if it does bring tears to your eyes.
Daddy’s here, but he has competition from the thieves of children’s hearts in the public schools and online.
Dad life fits you like a well tailored suit mah man
High praise, my good sir.
And much appreciated.
Excellent!

I always look forward to what you have to say about these, Wendy.
Wonderful.

That brought a tear to my eye. Thank you!
And thank you for being open and willing to take this journey with me.
Truly.
It felt wonderful to read that. My imagination rode the wave. Thanks Andrew.
I must look up this Harry of the Chapin, then!
My mom gave me Harry Chapin greatest hits live CD and it is fantastic.
"Oh if a man tried to take his time on earth, and prove before he died what one man's life could be worth, I wonder what would happen to this world."
WOW
